View clinical trials related to Crestal Bone Loss.
Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the bony changes around dental implants in non-vascularized iliac crest grafts and free vascularized fibular flap in mandibular reconstruction. The main question it aims to answer are: • evaluate the bony changes around dental implants and it's survival rate in both groups
After tooth extraction, host bone resorption and atrophy of alveolar ridge may be observed. Bone resorption occurs specially in incisors and premolar area of jaw in region of thin buccal bone that may lead to change in contour. Total clinical bone loss height approximately 2-5 mm at first 6 months may be observed in vertical dimension , after 12 months alveolar ridge may lose up to 50 % of its width.
Buccal bone is prone to resorb after tooth extraction specially with immediate tooth implantation which could compromise the esthetics of the patient. socket shield technique retains the buccal aspect of the extracted root fragment which may help in preventing the buccal bone from resorbing and prevent esthetics deterioration
Implants have become the preferred method of single tooth replacement these days, patients receiving implant treatments not only expect restoration of masticatory function, they also expect that the prostheses will be esthetically pleasing, easy to clean, and permanent. To maintain long-term implant stability, it is important to minimize bone loss around the implant, as well as the soft tissue atrophy that accompanies it.
